Johnson’s class, Barbaro’s sass, Kirstie’s…thighs
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Jeff Schultz
10: Anybody who lives here and has an ounce of objectivity understands the difference in size and fervor of the Georgia fan base relative to Georgia Tech’s. But you can understand the Yellow Jackets’ inferiority complex when attention to their possible ACC title and Orange Bowl run is being dwarfed by the Bulldogs’ stunning plummet.
9: If Georgia beats Tech this year but finishes an otherwise miserable season, nobody in Athens is happy. And if Tech loses to Georgia, I wonder how many Tech fans will still be calling for Chan Gailey’s job, ACC title notwithstanding.
8: It’s a massive generalization, but wide receivers tend to be the most selfish players on a football team. But you don’t get that feeling talking to Tech’s Calvin Johnson. More than merely his size and his skill-set, he’ll be a star in the NFL because of his head.
7: Wanna know how bad 6-4 really is? The Bulldogs’ wins have come over Western Kentucky (1-AA), South Carolina (5-4), UAB (3-6), Colorado (1-9), Mississippi (3-7) and Mississippi State (3-7). Fortunately, no rankings voters feel the need to weigh “quality” wins.
6: I wonder if Joe Paterno getting run over by a player last week is giving anybody any ideas in Tallahassee.
5: I’m so happy Kirstie Alley felt the need to reveal so much of herself on the Oprah Winfrey show in a bikini. I haven’t seen thighs like that since the Falcons signed Grady Jackson.
4: Don’t worry, Georgia fans - it’s almost time for basketball season. Oh wait. It doesn’t work that way, does it?
3: Barbaro is walking without a cast. He could return to action before John Abraham.
2: If you’re Kevin Mathis, why would you even consider playing again? Actually, why consider it after the first spinal injury?
1: The first-place Atlanta Thrashers are 11-3-3. It’s time to start paying attention. The first-place Atlanta Hawks are 2-1. Not time yet.
